Question of the day

How can something so cute...

 Be so very naughty? Oh that's right...because this brilliant person wasn't very good at 'counting' and ended up with kids 15 months apart. Which means...that he's got a very good example to learn from. Including, but certainly not limited to, climbing.

 Climbing to play with big brother.

Or climbing to stuff his face.

Maybe he just feels like causing mayhem. Like asking for more chips only so he can crunch them up into tiny pieces and make an annoying mess.

Or maybe he just wants to chuck his loaded diaper down the stairs to see what happens.

Any mothers out there that use disposable diapers know how much fun these little beads are to clean up. I was at a loss how to clean up so many without spending hours doing it. The hubs suggested the vacuum. Well that worked. Now we get the stale aroma of urine when it gets turned on. Guess who's going to clean the hoses when he gets home?

And if you didn't catch it, little dude got his first haircut!

There are definitely no more babies in my house. And thankfully his naughty behavior is helping keep any more from showing their faces;)

Big things in September

Crawling. Pulling up. More teeth. Happier!

Here's to a another busy kid running amuck in my house...

Yes, I know

I do have other things to blog about...really. And it will get done, because I am on a mission. But I wanted to share this lovely photo of Mr. Hippo.

He is 9 months already and crawling around the house picking up all the crumbs that got dropped after I vacuumed...go figure. Ahhh he's a cute kid. High maintenance, but cute. Ok, I will leave you with this 'womb-pulling' photo for now:)

 I learned with this picture that I love my new 85mm! But besides that, I learned that the picture you are positive is a dud on the lcd will blow your mind when you see it full screen.

cc is welcome:)

Conversation time

"Mr. Hippo, we need to talk. You see, I haven't been around babies that much and I'm not exactly sure what to think about you holding onto,...umm..you know. My boobs".

"oh. Is that what those are"?

"well, how about I grab this instead"?

"is that better? why are you moving so much Aunt Sibil"?

"well you are ripping my gums apart and it HURTS"!

"ow! you got my eye! It burns"!

"I'm sorry Auntie. Don't look like that"!

"She's ok Mom, you cut my nails so it couldn't have hurt as much as she said it did".
